Abstract

In Death of a Salesman, we observe the psychological aspect which makes this play different from other plays. Trough the characters of the play, we are going to analyze the narcissism and schizophrenia in the play. Arthur Miller’s plays are not only the study of social issues but also the study of psychological issues. His characters resemble modern society and its problems. Narcissism and Schizophrenia are the mental disorders of man which are responsible for the destruction of man. These disorders not only affect the individual person but also affect his surroundings. The aim of this paper is to highlight the inner conflict of man and his struggle in modern time in which people are so materialistic. The feeling of grandiosity, special, lying and many others are the symptoms of narcissism. Hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and movement disorders are the symptoms of schizophrenia.
